CBU is a major university in the Inland California region of SoCal. It enjoys a location that is one hour from the beach, one hour from several mountains, one hour to Joshua Tree National Monument, and one hour to Palm Springs. The campus is made up of a beautiful collection of academic, student service, food service, and housing, with excellent security and safety. The architecture program was founded in 2012 and has graduated several cohorts of MArch graduates. CBU Architecture graduates perform at the top of all of the state of CA schools in the Architecture Registration Exam (pass rates can be verified here), and nearly 100% of our graduates are employed in the field. The university is committed to the great commission, and students enjoy faculty and staff that are believing Christians. The faculty at CBU are passionate about serving as mentors and guides to the students, while at the same time, conducting relevant scholarship and research. The CBU College of Architecture, Visual Arts and Design is the largest protestant Christian design college in the world. Architecture students rub shoulders and collaborate with students majoring in Graphic Design, Art, Art Therapy, Interior Design, Illustration, Photography, and Film.
